Bedford courier services
Your delivery gets a van of its own
A missing part can hold up a job. A late stock delivery can leave a customer waiting. Our dedicated courier service helps you move the goods you need, whether it is an urgent collection today or a delivery planned in advance.
Tell us what needs moving, when it will be ready and where it needs to go. We match the vehicle to your load and confirm the price before dispatch. Your goods stay on that vehicle from collection to delivery, unless we agree a different arrangement with you.

Questions about booking
How quickly can you collect from Bedford?
Vehicle availability changes throughout the day. For collection within 90 minutes, a fixed delivery deadline or urgent out-of-hours collection, call 01234 385970 before booking. Standard online courier bookings require at least 90 minutes’ notice.
Is the vehicle dedicated to my delivery?
Yes. The vehicle is allocated to your consignment. Your goods stay on the same vehicle from collection to delivery, without shared loads or depot sorting, unless another arrangement is agreed.
What vehicles are available?
We arrange small, SWB, LWB and XLWB vans, Luton box and Luton curtain vans, plus 7.5T, 18T and articulated trucks. Choose using the full load dimensions, gross weight, loading method and site access. Tell us in advance if a tail lift is required.
Can I get a quote and book without an account?
Yes. Start with two postcodes and add your timings to compare standard van prices. No email is required to see prices and no portal account is needed to book. HGV and ADR requests are priced manually. An approved-account booking request requires ACS approval; wait for booking confirmation.
Can you carry hazardous goods?
Suitable ADR movements can be arranged after a manual review. Use the ADR quote form and provide the classification, quantities, packaging and supporting documents, including a UN number, proper shipping name, class and packing group where applicable. A quote request does not reserve a vehicle.
How much loading time is included?
Van services include 30 minutes at each stop; HGV services include 60 minutes at each stop. This applies to collection, delivery and any additional stops. Additional waiting charges may apply after this allowance. Loading and unloading are the sender’s and receiver’s responsibility unless agreed in advance. Any different allowance expressly agreed for your booking applies.
Can I view updates and proof of delivery?
Approved company users can find bookings and the latest recorded shipment updates in the ACS customer portal. Proof of delivery is available once released. You can book a public courier delivery without portal access and contact ACS for an update.
Read our terms and loading guidance before booking.
